Man converts to Islam, explains why
In the TikTok video, he explained that converting to Islam is not an easy or small journey, but he is ready to put his mind into it and go all in.
At the beginning of the video, he spoke about the conversion as something he had always wanted to do.
@wombsamvlogs said:
"Hey guys, I just wanted to confirm what I posted in a previous video. I just converted to Islam, I have made up my mind to convert to Islam, I have actually converted to Islam."
He explained why he finally left Christianity to join Islam as he recalled how he felt about the religion when he was very little and how, now that he is an adult, he took the bold step.
He continued:
"I know it's going to be a journey, this is something I always wanted to do since I was a kid and my dad was always stopping me. Now that I am an adult, I think I have the ability now to make my own decisions, I have decided to convert to Islam, this is my personal decision."
"I know I'm going to lose so many friends because of this decision, already some of my relatives are calling me. I'm someone who always takes his time before making any decision, but when I make a decision, I'm the type of person that you can never turn my mind around. When I make a decision, I never turn back and it takes time for me to make that decision."
"It has taken me one year to finally announce this, but I had actually decided to convert to Islam and I'm ready to go all the way, to learn like a toddler and learn everything from scratch."
In another video attached to this story, @wombsamvlogs made it clear that he used to be called Samuel, but now that he has converted to Islam, he has a new name, which he mentioned as Salman.
His statement:
"My name is Salman. For several years, my friends used to know me as Samuel, but after spending several years of my life as Samuel, I decided that my name would be Salman."

Man speaks about childhood as devoted Christian
He also once again explained the reason he joined Islam after several years of being a Christian.
"I used to be a Christian, I was raised by a Christian dad. I've always had so much respect for my dad because my dad has always been my greatest mentor."
"But when I was a kid, I was always the type of kid who would ask my dad, 'Dad, can you allow me to join the mosque with my friends?'"
"Most of my friends would always visit the mosque, but my dad was a strong Christian, so he said no. But after several years of trying to convince my dad, I finally decided to give up. After several years, I finally decided to follow my heart as an adult."
"7 days ago, I finally became a Muslim officially."
